LinStar Events

Hi, I’m Linden Clarke, owner of LinStar Events—a boutique event management business in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. With 15+ years in project and event management and 6 years in hospitality, I’m experienced in running events, planning timings, and refining food and beverage plans for DIY weddings. I’m passionate about coordination, have a calm, friendly demeanour, and proudly hold a 5-star rating across all platforms. I work with couples in the lead-up to their wedding day to fine-tune the logistics and timing of both the ceremony and reception. On the day, I manage and support suppliers, oversee setup, coordinate timings to ensure your event runs smoothly, and handle any last-minute issues—so you can relax and truly enjoy your celebration, stress-free. <strong>How I Can Support You On Your Wedding Day</strong> As your Wedding Coordinator, I take care of all the behind-the-scenes logistics to ensure your day runs smoothly from start to finish. My services typically include: <ul> <li>Managing and supporting suppliers on the day,</li> <li>Overseeing venue setup, including furniture layout, decorations, and signage,</li> <li>Supporting the celebrant or priest with the bridal party’s arrival and cueing music if needed,</li> <li>Ushering and assisting guests,</li> <li>Keeping the event running to schedule, e.g. cueing musicians, prompting speech givers,</li> <li>Handling any unexpected issues or last-minute changes, and</li> <li>Assisting with pack-down and bump-out.</li> </ul> In the lead-up to your wedding, I’ll work closely with you to review your plans, confirm supplier expectations, refine the run sheet, and walk through the venue(s) to finalise ceremony and reception timings and setup details. <strong>Why Work With Me?</strong> I’m passionate about helping couples bring their wedding vision to life with thoughtful, practical support tailored to your needs and budget. Whether you’re after full coordination or just a helping hand on the day, I offer flexible services designed to ease the pressure and let you enjoy your celebration. I specialise in supporting DIY weddings—perfect for couples who are sourcing their own suppliers, styling the venue themselves, or planning a non-traditional setup. With a background in project management and over 250 events delivered, I’m known for my calm under pressure, quick thinking, and attention to detail. I handle unexpected issues smoothly, so your day stays on track and true to your vision. As one of Melbourne’s more affordable wedding coordinators, I deliver high-quality, professional service without the premium price tag. I also bring experience in bartending and catering assistance, and often step in to support DIY food and drink service once coordination responsibilities are complete—offering hands-on, practical help where it’s needed most. _______ <strong>100% 5-star rating (150+ reviews) on Google and Airtasker</strong> <strong>40% return client bookings</strong> <strong>250+ private events</strong> <strong>6 years experience coordinating events, bartending & catering experience</strong> <strong>5 years as Melbourne Cricket Club's (MCC) Netball Events & Officer</strong> <strong>15 years project management experience</strong> _______ <em>"Over the past fifteen years I have worked with many event coordinators. Last night, I had the pleasure of working with Linden Clarke for the first time and I was very impressed. Linden was at all times friendly and courteous to guests and vendors alike, and it was clear from the moment we met that she was highly organised. Not in a “clipboard-wielding authoritarian” sense, but in a discreet, respectful and efficient way. I loved that she was both proactive - (she beat me to it when I went to the bar to arrange drinks for the newlyweds!) and reactive when minor issues arose (guests kicking candles over, for example). Thank you Linden. It was a pleasure working with you on H&G’s epic event. I hope we have the opportunity to do so again."</em> <strong>Sally Hughes, Celebrant, October 2024</strong>
